Collision Repair Education Foundation Executive Director Clark Plucinski noted, “I would like to thank and congratulate these Makeover applicant schools for taking the time to complete the application. Having each school’s itemized $50,000 wish list, the Education Foundation will not only support the 2013 Makeover winners but will also be aggressively working towards assisting the other 2013 applicant schools by distributing their wish lists of needed tools, equipment, and supplies to industry companies and asking for those items to be donated. I invite and encourage industry members to contact the Education Foundation if they are interested in connecting with a local applicant school and start taking an active role in their collision program.”
Industry organizations wishing to direct a monetary support to any of these collision programs and help fulfill portions of their $50,000 wish lists should contact Education Foundation Director of Development, Brandon Eckenrode at 847.463.5244.
